<p>I usually get great responses from LinkedIn messages that I send. Even if the person I reach out to isn't interested, I usually get referrals. However, I do ask for referrals instead of coming off like I'm trying to solicit the person I am messaging. I figure, if I ask for referrals, they will refer themselves if interested.</p>

<p>@ Paul: No matter how carefully I craft a message, review it with my colleagues, and keep it brief- I've not been able to get above a 20% response rate for large numbers of mails sent... I believe it to be for the reasons I gave- most people on LI REALLY aren't open, even when they say they are.</p>

<p>Paul, you have a point. If someone is sexually harassed on the job, the logical thing to do is to report the incident to get the perpetrator fired! And that is exactly what the CEO did-she reported (leaked) it on the Internet to embarrass the perpetrator to get him fired. That’s the new recruiting strategy: send a spam email and leak the email reply. The person loses job and will now have to call the CEO to apply for the same job. </p>

<p>Ken ... LinkedIn Recruiter InMail only has a low response rate if the folks using it don't know how to properly craft a message that will get a positive response from a potential candidate ... Also, Startup CEOs with a reputation have no problem recruiting A players .. This was a pure sexual harassment response to an attractive female CEO .. Not sure how that measures whether she has past success on hiring staff .. </p>

<p>Ken, many of the top tier talent who read or heard about the leaked email automatically scratched that company off their list (if they ever heard of the firm to begin with) as well as the CEO. The damage she did to her firm would be cause for any investor to demand her resignation or cut off funding.</p>

<p>There are CEOs who have a deft touch when it comes to recruiting top talent. However, most of these are experienced and understand the nuances in this strange new marketplace. They almost reflexively will aim a recruitment firm at their target candidate(s) and simply have the interview team ready.</p>
<p>When she gets the opportunity of time and space, I hope this CEO takes the incident as a learning opportunity and will think like a business person in the future.</p> Thanks, Ken.

<p>Thanks, Ken. I think most of f the low response for LI is that you have to OPT-OUT to say you aren't interested in job opportunities, and that's why most people who look like they're open to them really AREN'T. (Imagine if you had to opt-in every 30 days to indicate you're still open.)</p>
<p>I agree with you- keep the CEOs out of the recruiting process- they tend to mess it up in many ways, particualry when they think they know how it should be done.</p>

<p>Great article! When I read her story, I was a little shocked and surprised that it went viral. I mean, seriously, haven't we all had some ridiculous responses before? "WHY would she make it public?" was what I was thinking, which led me to, 'obviously she doesn't do this on a regular basis, because that response isn't all that outrageous', then it led me to, 'she must be a newbie', then I went back and it said she was CEO. </p>
